looking beyond the commonplace

The social justice movement is (depending on which “side”
you are on) either a way to reduce the gross disparities in income between rich
and poor (along with a host of other social inequalities) or a Neo-Marxist
attempt to destroy Western Civilization. The truth is somewhere between.

In 1949 George Orwell wrote his famous book 1984, in which he postulated what the
world would look like 35 years later. Orwell saw the rise of fascism, Naziism,
and intolerance, and speculated that if present trends continued from 1949, the
world would eventually turn into a vast surveillance/police state, which he nicknamed “Big Brother.”

The world HAS turned into a surveillance state, led by big
tech giants Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, etc., who monitor our
communications 24 hours a day. I just saw an Apple commercial for a new “feature”
– retinal scanning – which would allow your retinal patterns to be transferred
to a database somewhere. That database is likely sitting somewhere in an
intelligence agency. We already know that apps like WeChat (which is being used
by President-for-life Xi Jinping to create a police/surveillance state in China)
and Facebook, and mobile technology, monitor us all the time. Facebook was
founded on the same day, in February 2004, that DARPA’s Project Lifelog was
terminated (look this up). Big Tech is essentially a tool of the intelligence
community. Google’s goal is to collect information on everything and everyone everywhere
in the world, and they are doing a good job of that!

So part of Orwell’s nightmare is already happening. But this
is the last gasp of the dark army. It will eventually fail. It was begun in the
old energy, before December 2012, and must play out in the new timeline. The
point is that lightworkers need not be afraid of something that must run its
course.

It is instructive to examine the tools used by those with dark
agendas. The battle on earth at present is not one between good and evil, it is one between light and
dark. But the battle is being framed
as one between good and evil (see my post “Good vs. Evil – Light vs. Dark” on
this blog). The “good vs. evil” debate is guaranteed to spawn hatred and
contention. That’s the goal of the dark army.

The social justice movement (regardless of its origins,
which was probably from the generosity of classic liberalism) has unfortunately
morphed into a contentious philosophy that pits victims versus oppressors.
Victims are now entire classes of people: women, African Americans, Hispanics,
LGBTQ+ – anyone who is considered a “minority.” Oppressors are usually old
white guys like me, or entire philosophies like capitalism. The social justice
movement now sees capitalism, and even Western civilization itself (which after
all was largely built by white guys) as inherently racist and oppressive.

There is little room for discernment, or intelligence, or
reasonableness here. It is a worldview based entirely on materialism, which is
the hallmark of the dark army. The value of persons no longer depend on their qualities or
abilities, but on their bodies, their skin color, their sex. Those who do not
conform have committed what Orwell called thoughtcrime. A thought crime,
according to the Oxford Dictionary site, is

a word used in the novel to describe the act of thinking socially unacceptable thoughts or holding opinions that are ideologically distinct from The Party’s.... Thought police, the term for the group in Nineteen Eighty-Four that monitored the populace for any signs of unorthodox thought or action, has also become popular to signify any organization that attempts to suppress freedom of thought.

Intelligence is the ability to discern differences between
things. The social justice movement in its present form negates the necessity
for original thought, objective observation, and discernment. Oppressor classes
are automatically racist (or inherently have other pejorative qualities); victim
classes are inherently non-racist and socially acceptable. In Orwell’s book, The Party used the language
of doublespeak and newspeak to gradually dumb down populations, so that citizens
could be easily manipulated and controlled.

Here is what the Oxford Dictionary site has to say:

Newspeak intended not only to force the populace to conform their thoughts and ideologies towards those of The Party, but to make it impossible to even conceive of any other point of view. For example, one character in the novel mentions that one of The Party’s most chiefly known slogans, “Freedom is Slavery,” will eventually change; for when Newspeak has reached its goals, the very idea of Freedom as defined in this fashion would be impossible for the populace even to imagine. Other Newspeak words illustrate such attempts to control thought and even the populace’s ideas about reality itself: doublethink, for example, means to hold two contradictory beliefs to be true, but without any cognitive dissonance, allowing one to be unaware of actual contradictions. The slogans of The Party, “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength,” are perfect examples of this phenomenon. Doublethink as a concept is what allows the totalitarian party to thrive without collapsing in on itself: for example, members of The Party can commit acts they know to be immoral while accepting the idea that no act they commit could possibly be immoral.

In Orwell’s 1984, discernment
by the population was frowned upon, for intelligent people see the difference
between freedom and tyranny. Dictators don’t like this! In the US today, the
fake “good vs. evil” debate perpetuates Orwell’s degenerative Newspeak ideas. People
are automatically racist or evil depending on their body type, or what they
believe, if it contradicts the prevailing ideas as promoted in mass media. It’s
a great way to negate the principle of free speech, and religious principles
such as freedom of belief. This, again, is the work of the dark army. Dictators
and totalitarian governments throughout history have suppressed and banned free
speech and freedom of belief and religion. It is happening all over the world
today.

But there is a solution to this madness for individuals, as
I pointed out in the last post. Good and evil are entirely subjective and will
lead to pointless, never-ending arguments and conflict. But light and dark
transcend “sides.” It is easy to see whether a person is exercising tolerance,
compassion, and love. It is easy to see whether a person demonstrates hatred
and intolerance. People are not inherently anything (except children of God) – because every human being has free will.
Therefore, each individual can change his or her mind at any time.

Having your entire life and person pigeonholed into a
simplistic category such as “racist” because you believe a certain way, or you
have a certain sex or body type, is hurtful. But it is understandable, which I
will explain in a second. Being categorized as a “victim” is also hurtful to
those with ability and higher consciousness, so it works both ways.

Such narrow-minded accusations suit those who hate – but
remember that the primary quality of those in darkness is ignorance and a lack
of discernment. Let’s take the viewpoint of the light here! One might say that
those who hate aren’t evil at all, but are merely operating on a lack of
information that results from lower consciousness. They have little discernment and can’t see
past simplistic white and black categories. Nuance, which comes from
discernment and higher consciousness, is lacking. Therefore, responding with
hate to hate will only exacerbate the situation for you and for them. Behind
the newspeak and the thoughtcrime and the doublespeak and the accusations and
the intolerance is stark, raving, fear. People who do this are genuinely
troubled.

The job of the lightworker is to spread light, but it gets
hard sometimes. However, if you can make the distinction between the false
good-evil paradigm and the light-dark paradigm, life gets a little easier.
